Buster Sword

[Brad]

So I was a groomsman at my buddy's wedding a while back. His gift finally arrived. I don't know if I have it in me to give it to him.

[Nevrmore]

Does he routinely deal with horse-mounted enemies?

[King Kool]

Ok, everyone turn in your cameras. No picture will be cooler than that one. We can all pack it in.

[Brad]

Well... sometimes he has to deal with garbage bags full of dead raccoons. He works in sanitation for the parks board.

[Hakaryu]

Is that a replica of the Buster or is it just a regular Full Blade?

[Brad]

Replica. It's 55 inches by 5.5 inches of blade.

A sword would help for this how...

[Brad]

Really Ghengis? You can't think of any ways that a five foot long sword wouldn't be useful in any given situation? Self esteem if nothing else. He may be hauling dead animals around, but he's got a giant sword.

Edit: We have bears. If I'd had the buster sword instead of that tree segment in Prince George, ... well, I probably wouldn't be alive today. But I would've looked COOL dying.

[Genghis Ares]

Bard, Unless these dead raccons come back to life often, I don't see how hauling them away with a giant sword is helpful.

Brad's vocal skills aside, I thought it would be clear.

You use the sword to fend off the bears that are attracted to the bag of dead raccoons.

If you're going to wind up as walking bait, you may as well be well-armed walking bait.

[Genghis Ares]

See, what you do, is you throw the dead raccoons at the bears. Problem solved. It's not your job to defend the raccoons. Also, I didn't see the bit about the bears until after I posted, since Bard edited his post.

[Lord Chrusher]

How heavy is a 55 by 5 inch sword?

To italics: Actually, it IS; why else is Brad's friend employed by the parks board to GATHER UP the dead animals?

To bold: Anything once, twice could be a coincidence; a third time and even I'd have to construe that as a deliberate slight.

[Cade Antilles]

That picture is wicked! And, everywhere I go, Brad's eyes follow me. Weird.

What you don't realize is that it was deliberate the first time. Try to figure out why.

Also, I doubt raccoon defense is in his job description. Or even to defend any trash at all.

[Penthesilea180]

That picture is so badass. Did you get the sword through the mail? If so, it either scared or made some x-ray monitors chuckle.

[Yaxley]

Couldn't you just keep it and, you know, give him some sacks to put the dead raccoons in? You come across as someone who gives practical gifts, and you get to keep a giant sword. Everybody wins, especially you.

[Jasbraman]

Now you just need to get Masamune and you'll be all set to have a Cloud/Sephiroth style showdown...only much slower...with less kung-fu action...OR special effects...

[Brad]

Well... he could start defending the raccoons. Or the trash from the raccoons.

Chris: It is ass loads of heavy. Holding it straight armed pointing forward is difficult for more than about 10-15 seconds. Not a one handed sword. I'd say probably around 15 pounds, but I may be off because the shear size of the thing makes its weight distribution difficult to figure out picking up by the handle. By which I mean it is top heavy and five feet is quite a lever for that weight.

[Brad]

Oh! Is it because I look smashing in an arming-doublet?

Brad I'm waiting outside your house to steal the sword when you come out.

Wait, you DO still live in Burnaby, right?

Fuck, need to check my facts BEFORE I announce the ambush.

Fuck, need to AMBUSH before I announce the ambush.

FUCK.

[KanOzna]

Does he have to save the world often? I know working for the parks board is the perfect cover for a hero.

I thought the thread was titled "Butter Sword" and when I saw the picture, I thought the size could make it awkward when cutting butter. Then I reread the title and everything clicked properly.

Also, Burnaby?! We can tag-team this ambush!

This has been the best suggestion so far.
